Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of drug synthesis, and relates to the synthesis, preparation method and application of chromone compounds. Background Art
[0002] Alzheimer's disease is a multi-cause systemic degenerative disease of the cerebral cortex that often occurs in the elderly. Recent memory impairment is the main clinical symptom of early Alzheimer's disease, and the concentration of acetylcholine in the brain is believed to be related to recent memory.
[0003] Early studies have found that the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease is the cholinergic hypothesis. Cholinergic neurons can synthesize a large amount of acetylcholine, which is transported to the cerebral cortex and hippocampus through projection fibers. In the patient's cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissue, the severe loss, degeneration and functional defects of cholinergic neurons damage the acetylcholinergic nerves, leading to learning and memory impairment and cognitive impairment, and producing Alzheimer's symptoms. This suggests that intervention with cholinesterase inhibitors may play a role in treating Alzheimer's disease.
[0004] Cholinesterase inhibitors are currently the most commonly used cholinergic transmitter-related drugs, such as galantamine, huperzine A, rivastigmine, etc. Chromone drug components in other natural products have antioxidant, free radical scavenging, and central cholinergic function enhancement effects. They can selectively enhance the effects of acetylcholine in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus, significantly improve patients' cognitive functions and daily living abilities, and significantly alleviate the severity of the disease.
[0005] Chromone compounds are a class of widely existing and biologically active substances. By modifying the structure of different positions of chromone compounds, the purpose of acetylcholine inhibition can be achieved. It is expected that more highly effective and low-toxic drugs will be developed in the future and benefit mankind. Summary of the invention
